Love having to enable "support for sleep state 5" to turn off USB power when the PC is off

Cursive big f: "integration", which can be interpreted in two ways. One is "area under the curve" for some part of the curve. Other is "average value of a part of the curve multiplied by the size of that part of the curve". Curve being the function, the graph, f(x), however you wanna call it.

Normal d: "differentiation" (from difference), infinitely small change. Usually used in ratios: df/dx means how much does f(x) change relative to x when you change x a little bit.

Cursive d: "partial", same as normal d but used when working with higher dimensional data like 3D. Can also mean "boundary" of something. Example: boundary of a volume in 3D, like wrapping paper around a box. Or, boundary of such wrapping paper itself, if it's not perfectly connecting.

Omega: just a Greek letter used as a variable, in this case there's a history of it being used as a sort of "density" variable in the field of differential geometry. The college row in the meme is kind of translating the high school row from a function to a 3D volume.

pervasive unchecked nullability

Addressed nowadays with the question mark and exclamation mark syntax, and programming without nullability is a pain

Framework management is hell, fat binaries inconvenient and not default

Nuget?

Compiler output only marginally better than working with c++

No one claims it's faster at runtime than good C++, it's just a lot easier to write decent code

For a second I thought this was loss

Somehow this is just as incoherent as Trump transcriptions

Without DirectX or OpenGL you'd have to create a GPU driver or do CPU rendering...

Fonts can be handled by Windows itself.

I don't care about internationalization, just EN-US is good enough.

Having more pixels doesn't change asset sizes when the pixels used per asset are the same. Just show me the smaller button or use vector graphics.

Windows takes a percentage of your available RAM, you can boot it on 4GB RAM and it will use 1GB of so

Apologies for still being annoying about this, but I've been donating €10 monthly for a year now through Patreon and am still not on the donators page. Will this ever be updated?

 

Thanks for that, I'm gonna be testing your updates from now on ;)
